Man found nude after clothes stolen
OELWEIN, Iowa - Two men have been arrested for stealing a man's clothes and leaving him to wander around naked, officials said. The victim, a 19-year-old Hazleton man, was taken by two men to a rural area west of Oelwein where the men took his clothes at gunpoint, officials with the Fayette County sheriff's office said.
The investigation began after the sheriff's office received a report of a naked man walking down a county road early Sunday morning.
Deputies searched an Oelwein home later in the day and found the victim's clothes and several guns.
Billy Ray Staton Jr., 36, and Arthur David Thomas, 53, both of Oelwein, were arrested and charged with first-degree robbery.
Thomas also was charged with possession of a firearm by a felon.
Staton was being held in the Fayette County jail under $100,000 bond. Thomas was being held under $120,000 bond.
